Abstract
Differentiating between two highly similar C-H bonds in a given molecule remains a fundamental challenge in synthetic organic chemistry. Directing group assisted strategies for the functionalisation of proximal C-H bonds has been known for the last few decades. However, distal C-H bond functionalisation is strenuous and requires distinctly specialised techniques. In this review, we summarise the advancement in Pd-catalysed distal C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H bond activation through various redox manifolds including Pd(0)/Pd(II), Pd(II)/Pd(IV) and Pd(II)/Pd(0). Distal C-H functionalisation, where a Pd-catalyst is directly involved in the C-H activation step, either through assistance of an external directing group or directed by an inherent functionality or functional group incorporated at the site of the Pd-C bond is covered. The purpose of this review is to portray the current state of art in Pd-catalysed distal C(sp2)-H and C(sp3)-H functionalisation reactions, their mechanism and application in the late-stage functionalisation of medicinal compounds along with highlighting its limitations, thus leaving the field open for further synthetic adjustment.

Abstract
Regioselective distal C-H functionalization of nitroarenes by overriding proximal C-H activation has remained an unsolved challenge. Herein, we present a palladium-catalyzed meta-C-H alkenylation of nitroarene substrate, achieved through leveraging the non-covalent hydrogen bonding interactions. Urea-based templates comprising an elongated biphenyl linker designed in such a way that it interacts with nitro group via strong hydrogen bonding interaction, while a cyano based directing group is attached along the template to coordinate with the palladium center, thereby facilitating the activation of the remote meta-C-H bond of nitrobenzene. Computational mechanistic investigation and the analysis of non-covalent interaction deciphers the crucial role of H-bonding in regulating the regioselectivity.

Abstract
For transition-metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization, precise differentiation between remote adjacent C(sp2)-H bonds remains a long-standing challenge. Here, the template structure-directivity relationship on remote C-H functionalization of arenes was experimentally and computationally studied. By using geometry-tunable templates, Pd-catalyzed remote meta- and para-C-H activation of benzoic acids was achieved with high site selectivity.

Abstract
The halolactonization reaction provides rapid access to densely functionalized lactones from unsaturated carboxylic acids. The endo/exo regioselectivity of this cyclization reaction is primarily determined by the electronic stabilization of alkene substituents, thus making it inherently dependent on substrate structures. Therefore this method often affords one type of halolactone regioisomer only. Herein, we introduce a simple and efficient method for regioselectivity-switchable bromolactonization reactions mediated by HFIP solvent. Two sets of reaction conditions were developed, each forming endo-products or exo-products in excellent regioselectivity. A combination of computational and experimental mechanistic studies not only confirmed the crucial role of HFIP, but also revealed the formation of endo-products under kinetic control and exo-products under thermodynamic control. This study paves the way for future work on the use of perfluorinated solvents to dictate reaction outcomes in organic synthesis.

Abstract
We present here the distal-C-H activation/functionalization of biphenyl scaffolds using aliphatic nitrile templates. The approach has demonstrated good to exclusive meta selectivities over a wide range of olefination and acetoxylation substrates. In addition, bis-olefination has been accomplished in a one-pot, sequential manner. Notably, this technique highlights the diversification of pharmaceuticals and natural products. Consequently, the temporary directing aliphatic template has been recovered quantitively from the coupled product.

Abstract
Regioselective arene C-H bond alkylation is a powerful tool in synthetic chemistry, yet subject to many challenges. Herein, we report the meta-C-H bond alkylation of aromatics bearing N-directing groups using (hetero)aromatic epoxides as alkylating agents. This method results in complete regioselectivity on both the arene as well as the epoxide coupling partners, cleaving exclusively the benzylic C-O bond. Oxetanes, which are normally unreactive, also participate as alkylating reagents under the reaction conditions. Our mechanistic studies reveal an unexpected reversible epoxide ring opening process undergoing catalyst-controlled regioselection, as key for the observed high regioselectivities.

Abstract
Transition-metal-catalyzed directed C-H allylation of arenes offers an efficient and straightforward approach to construct value-added allylic arenes. However, these reactions are often performed with precious transition-metal catalysts and mainly limited to ortho-C-H allylation of arenes. Herein, we disclose a novel iron-catalyzed para-C-H allylation of aniline derivatives with allyl alcohols via a chelation-induced strategy, providing various allylic arenes in good yields with excellent regio- and chemoselectivity. A simple FeCl3·6H2O is employed as a catalyst, serving a dual role in the reaction: (1) coordination with N-arylpicolinamide to alter the electronic property of the aromatic ring and (2) reaction with allyl alcohol to form allyl-Fe species.

Abstract
Herein, we develop a metal-free, nondirected, site-selective, one-pot approach to meta-arylation of arylamines. This Brønsted acid-catalyzed, direct C-C bond formation offers a broad substrate scope and scalability and creates the ideal conditions for overriding the conventional site-selectivity to furnish meta-substituted anilines. Additionally, the protocol applies to the meta-allylation of anilines and has been extended to afford late-stage functionalization and synthesis of medicinally privileged arylated diamines and densely functionalized anilines. The control experiments and density functional theory studies provide evidence for the proposed mechanism and selectivity.

Abstract
The solvent effects in Friedel-Crafts cycloalkylation of epoxides and Cope rearrangement of aldimines were investigated by using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Explicit molecular treatments were applied for both reactants and solvents. The reaction mechanisms were elucidated via free energy calculations based on metadynamics simulations. The results reveal that both reactions proceed in a concerted fashion. Key solvent-substrate interactions are identified from the structures of transition states with explicit solvent molecules. The remarkable promotion effect of hexafluoroisopropanol solvent is ascribed to the synergistic effect of H-bonding networks and C-H/π interactions with substrates.

Abstract
The development of catalytic systems capable of oxygenating unactivated C-H bonds with excellent site-selectivity and functional group tolerance under mild conditions remains a challenge. Inspired by the secondary coordination sphere (SCS) hydrogen bonding in metallooxygenases, reported herein is an SCS solvent hydrogen bonding strategy that employs 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as a strong hydrogen bond donor solvent to enable remote C-H hydroxylation in the presence of basic aza-heteroaromatic rings with a low loading of a readily available and inexpensive manganese complex as a catalyst and hydrogen peroxide as a terminal oxidant. We demonstrate that this strategy represents a promising compliment to the current state-of-the-art protection approaches that rely on precomplexation with strong Lewis and/or Brønsted acids. Mechanistic studies with experimental and theoretical approaches reveal the existence of a strong hydrogen bonding between the nitrogen-containing substrate and HFIP, which prevents the catalyst deactivation by nitrogen binding and deactivates the basic nitrogen atom toward oxygen atom transfer and the α-C-H bonds adjacent to the nitrogen center toward H-atom abstraction. Moreover, the hydrogen bonding exerted by HFIP has also been demonstrated not only to facilitate the O-O bond heterolytic cleavage of a putative MnIII-OOH precursor to generate MnV(O)(OC(O)CH2Br) as an active oxidant but also to affect the stability and the activity of MnV(O)(OC(O)CH2Br).

Abstract
Efficient regioselective synthesis of novel fully substituted pyrazoles has been achieved through Huisgen cycloaddition reaction of δ-acetoxy allenoates with hydrazonoyl chlorides by the addition of Ag2O. The present approach offers the advantages of simpleness, high efficiency, mild conditions, wide substrate scope, and good-to-excellent regioselectivities. The strategy could be performed on a large-scale pattern to allow access to structurally versatile pyrazoles, of which a key intermediate of lonazolac (303), a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, could be synthesized efficiently. Moreover, several pyrazoles show obvious growth-inhibitory activity of Huh-7 cells, expected as potential anticancer agents.

Abstract
The prevalence of C-aryl glycosides in biologically active natural products and approved drugs has long motivated the development of efficient strategies for their selective synthesis. Cross-couplings have been frequently used, but largely relied on palladium catalyst with prefunctionalized substrates, while ruthenium-catalyzed C-aryl glycoside preparation has thus far proven elusive. Herein, we disclose a versatile ruthenium(II)-catalyzed meta-C-H glycosylation to access meta-C-aryl glycosides from readily available glycosyl halide donors. The robustness of the ruthenium catalysis was reflected by mild reaction conditions, outstanding levels of anomeric selectivity and exclusive meta-site-selectivity.

Abstract
1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a polar, strongly hydrogen bond-donating solvent that has found numerous uses in organic synthesis due to its ability to stabilize ionic species, transfer protons, and engage in a range of other intermolecular interactions. The use of this solvent has exponentially increased in the past decade and has become a solvent of choice in some areas, such as C-H functionalization chemistry. In this review, following a brief history of HFIP in organic synthesis and an overview of its physical properties, literature examples of organic reactions using HFIP as a solvent or an additive are presented, emphasizing the effect of solvent of each reaction.

Abstract
Distal C(sp2 )-H and C(sp3 )-H functionalizations have recently emerged as step-economical tools for molecular synthesis. However, while the C(sp2 )-C(sp3 ) construction is of fundamental importance, its formation through double remote C(sp2 )-H/C(sp3 )-H activation has proven elusive. By merging the ruthenium-catalyzed meta-C(sp2 )-H functionalization with an aliphatic hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) process, we, herein, describe the catalyzed twofold remote C(sp2 )-H/C(sp3 )-H functionalizations via photo-induced ruthenium-mediated radical relay. Thus, meta-C(sp2 )-H arene bonds and remote C(sp3 )-H alkane bonds were activated by a single catalyst in a single operation. This process was accomplished at room temperature by visible light-notably without exogenous photocatalysts. Experimental and computational theory studies uncovered a manifold comprising ortho-C-H activation, single-electron-transfer (SET), 1,n-HAT (n=5-7) and σ-activation by means of a single ruthenium(II) catalyst.

Abstract
The classic electrophilic bromination leads to ortho- and para-bromination of anilines due to their electron-rich properties. Herein we report the development of an unprecedented Pd-catalyzed meta-C-H bromination of aniline derivatives using commercially available N-bromophthalimide (NBP), which overcomes the competing ortho/para-selectivity of electrophilic bromination of anilines. The addition of acid additives is crucial for the success of this reaction. A broad range of substrates with various substitution patterns can be tolerated in this reaction. Moreover, benzoic acid derivatives bearing complex substitution patterns are also viable with this mild bromination reaction, and meta-C-H chlorination is also feasible under similar reaction conditions. The ease of the directing group removal and subsequent diverse transformations of the brominated products demonstrate the application potential of this method and promise new opportunities for drug discovery.

Abstract
Chalcogenide motifs are present as principal moieties in a vast array of natural products and complex molecules. Till date, the construction of these chalcogen motifs has been restricted to either the use of directing groups or the employment of a large excess of electronically activated arenes, typically employed as a cosolvent. Despite being highly effective, these methods have their own limitations in the step economy and the deployment of an excess amount of arenes. Herein, we report the evolution of a catalytic system employing arene-limited, nondirected thioarylation of arenes and heteroarenes using a complimentary dual-ligand approach. The reaction is controlled by a combination of steric and electronic factors, and the utilization of a suitable ligand enables the generation of products on a complimentary spectrum to that generated by classical methods. The combination of ligands remains imperative in the reaction protocol with theoretical calculations pointing towards a monoprotected amino acid ligand being crucial in the concerted metalation deprotonation (CMD) mechanism by a characteristic [5,6]-palladacyclic transition state, while the pyridine moiety assists in the active catalyst species formation and product release. Combined experimental and computational mechanistic investigations point toward the C-H activation step being both regio- and rate-determining. Interestingly, oxidative addition of the diphenyl disulfide substrate is found to be unlikely, and an alternative transmetalation-like mechanism involving the Pd-Ag heterometallic complex is proposed to be operative.

Abstract
Rhodium-catalyzed diverse tandem twofold C-H bond activation reactions of para-olefin-tethered arenes have been realized, with unsaturated reagents such as internal alkynes, dioxazolones, and isocyanates being the coupling partner as well as a relay directing group which triggers cyclization of the para-olefin group under oxidative or redox-neutral conditions. The reaction proceeded via initial ortho-C-H activation assisted by a built-in directing group in the arene, and the ortho-incorporation of the unsaturated coupling partner simultaneously generated a relay directing group that allows sequential C-H activation at the meta-position and subsequent cyclization of the para-olefins. The overall reaction represents C-C or N-C difunctionalization of the arene with the generation of diverse 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran platforms. The catalytic system proceeded with good efficiency, simple reaction conditions, and broad substrate scope. The diverse transformations of the products demonstrated the synthetic utility of this tandem reaction.

Abstract
While electrochemical ortho-selective C-H activations are well established, distal C-H activations continue to be underdeveloped. In contrast, we herein describe the electrochemical meta-C-H functionalization. The remote C-H bromination was accomplished in an undivided cell by RuCl3 ⋅3 H2 O with aqueous HBr. The electrohalogenation proceeded under exogenous ligand- and electrolyte-free conditions. Notably, pyrazolylarenes were meta-selectively brominated at the benzenoid moiety, rather than on the electron-rich pyrazole ring for the first time. Mechanistic studies were suggestive of an initial ruthenacycle formation, and a subsequent ligand-to-ligand hydrogen transfer (LLHT) process to liberate the brominated product.

Abstract
Amination of carboranes has a good application prospect in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis. However, the current methods used for this transformation suffer from limitations. Herein, we report a practical method for a highly regioselective formation of a B-N bond by Pd(II)-catalyzed B(9)-H amination of o- and m-carboranes in hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) with different nitrogen sources under air atmosphere. The silver salt and HFIP solvent play critical roles in the present protocol. The mechanistic study reveals that the silver salt acts as a Lewis acid to promote the electrophilic palladation step by forming a heterobimetallic active catalyst PdAg(OAc)3; the strong hydrogen-bond-donating ability and low nucleophilicity of HFIP enhance the electrophilic ability of Pd(II). It is believed that these N-containing carboranes are potentially of great importance in the synthesis of new pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
A successful example of oxidative meta-dehydrogenative allylation of arenes with alkenes has been developed using Ru(PPh3)3Cl2 as a catalyst and DTBP as an oxidant. In the allylation process, pyrimidines, pyrazoles, and purines, found widely in nucleosides, were effective auxiliary groups. Gram-scale experiments took place smoothly under optimized conditions. Mechanistic studies indicated that ruthenium-catalyzed meta-dehydrogenative allylation was a free-radical process. The allylation process developed herein provides an efficient and practical strategy to prepare versatile meta-allylated arenes.

Abstract
The stereoselective synthesis of 1,3-enynes from 1,3-diynes is demonstrated by palladium-catalyzed selective C–C bond cleavage of cyclopropanol. Exclusive formation of mono-alkenylated adducts was achieved by eliminating the possibility of di-functionalization with high stereoselectivity. Indeed, this protocol worked very well with electronically and sterically diverse substrates. Several studies, including deuterium labeling experiments and intermolecular competitive experiments, were carried out to understand the mechanistic details. The atomic-level mechanism followed in the catalytic process was also validated using DFT calculations, and the rate-controlling states in the catalytic cycle were identified. Furthermore, preliminary mechanistic investigations with radical scavengers revealed the non-involvement of the radical pathway in this transformation. Palladium-catalyzed tandem activation and functionalization of readily accessible cyclopropanols have been demonstrated to access valuable conjugated enynes from 1,3-diynes with high stereo-selectivity.![]()

Abstract
The ability to differentiate and selectively activate remote C-H bonds represents a perennial challenge in the field of C-H activation. Since its first report in 2012, a now-established "directing template" (DT) approach remains demonstrably effective for the functionalization of remote C-H bonds. As selectivity is hypothesized to be principally determined by the optimal positioning of the reactive catalyst to a target C-H bond, a DT's spatial factors are particularly important toward achieving high selectivity, though a systematic study on its requisite factors remain unelucidated. Through an in-depth analysis of 119 structurally unique published remote DTs, this report summarizes the key factors that are central toward achieving high selectivity at defined aryl positions, which are experimentally corroborated through the development of new aliphatic meta and para-selective DTs for electronically unbiased arenes. These empirical rules, which summarize key distance and geometric factors, are expected to be useful tools for the future development of site-selective arene C-H activation as well as other reactions that rely on covalent/noncovalent DT-mediated remote regioselection.

Abstract
This article describes the development of a new aliphatic nitrile-template-directed remote meta-selective C-H olefin functionalization reaction of arenes. Remarkably, unlike the previous reports, this process is feasible at room temperature and enabled the formation of products with excellent regioselectivity. The present protocol encompasses a broad spectrum of substituted dihydrocinnamic acids and olefins, producing meta-C-H olefinated products (up to 96% yield). In addition, the efficacy of the present method has been showcased by the synthesis of various drug analogues (e.g., cholesterol, estrone, ibuprofen, and naproxen). Significantly, the robustness of meta-olefination was also demonstrated by gram-scale synthesis. The new nitrile-based meta-directing template, in particular, could be easily synthesized in two steps and recycled under mild conditions.

Abstract
C-H activation has emerged as a powerful transformative synthetic tool to construct complex molecular frameworks, which are ubiquitous in natural products, medicines, dyes, polymers, and many more. However, reactivity and selectivity, arising from the inertness of C-H bonds and their overabundance in organic molecules, are the two major fundamental challenges in developing various carbon-carbon (C-C) and carbon-heteroatom (C-X) bond formation reactions via C-H activation technique. Functional groups with coordinating capacity to the transition metal catalysts, profoundly known as directing groups (DGs), have shown great promise in exerting selective C-H activation, often called site-selective or regioselective transformation of a target molecule. Advent of directing group (DG)-assisted strategies not only has resolved the selectivity issues but also offers a unique solution to the rapid synthesis of complex molecules in a convenient and predictable manner. Our laboratory, in this regard, is fascinated by the prospect of DG-assisted distal C-H functionalization of arenes, in which the target C-H bond is remotely located from the existing directing group. Notably, in opposition to proximal ortho-C-H activation, which proceeded via an energetically favorable five- to seven-membered metallacycle, distal C-H activation remained a formidable challenge as it required formation of a large macrocyclic metallacycle. Therefore, designing a suitable directing template that would maintain the required distance and geometric relationship between the target C-H bond and the appended directing auxiliary in order to ensure the prolific delivery of the metal catalyst to the closest proximity of targeted distal C-H bond was the key to success. In this regard, the Yu group devised an elegant "U-shaped" template for the first time to execute distal meta-C-H activation recruiting a cyano-based directing group. Our initial effort to diversify the scope of meta-C-H functionalization using a cyano-based template led us to realize that the "cyano-based DGs" are intrinsically limited with weak coordinating ability, competitive binding mode (end-on vs side-on), and incompatibility with acidic and basic reaction conditions. In search of a robust directing auxiliary, we were intrigued by the possibility of using the strongly coordinating ability of pyrimidine and quinoline-based DGs.In this Account, we describe our journey from the weakly coordinating cyano-based DG to the strongly coordinating pyrimidine-based DG to achieve diverse meta-C-H functionalization of electronically and sterically unbiased arenes. While some of the functionalizations were achieved by finding suitable reaction conditions, others were led by mechanistic understanding. Notably, initial development in this realm was constrained with short linkers, in which the DG was attached to the arene of interest through 2-4 atoms. In later studies, we demonstrated that the selective meta-C-H activation can be attained even though the DG is 10-atoms away from the targeted arene. More importantly, a transient DG was successfully utilized to deliver meta-C-H olefination of arenes via in situ imine formation, which provided a step-economic route to meta-C-H activation.We hope that this Account will stimulate further template design and will provide a guiding platform for the future development of distal meta-C-H functionalization.

Abstract
Molecular understanding of the role of protic solvents in a gamut of organic transformations can be developed using density functional and ab initio computational studies focused on the reaction mechanism. Inclusion of explicit solvent molecules in the vital TSs has been proven to be valuable toward improving the energetic estimates of organocatalytic as well as transition-metal-catalyzed organic reactions. Herein, we provide an overview of the importance of an explicit-implicit solvation model using a number of interesting examples.

Abstract
Transition metal catalyzed C-H activation has developed a contemporary approach to the omnipresent area of retrosynthetic disconnection. Scientific researchers have been tempted to take the help of this methodology to plan their synthetic discourses. This paradigm shift has helped in the development of industrial units as well, making the synthesis of natural products and pharmaceutical drugs step-economical. In the vast zone of C-H bond activation, the functionalization of proximal C-H bonds has gained utmost popularity. Unlike the activation of proximal C-H bonds, the distal C-H functionalization is more strenuous and requires distinctly specialized techniques. In this review, we have compiled various methods adopted to functionalize distal C-H bonds, mechanistic insights within each of these procedures, and the scope of the methodology. With this review, we give a complete overview of the expeditious progress the distal C-H activation has made in the field of synthetic organic chemistry while also highlighting its pitfalls, thus leaving the field open for further synthetic modifications.

Abstract
The mechanism of Pd(II)-catalyzed meta-C-H bond olefination of arenes with a carboxyl directing group (DG)-containing template has been investigated with density functional theory. The reaction includes three major steps: C-H bond activation, alkene insertion, and β-hydride elimination. The C-H activation step, which proceeds via a concerted metalation-deprotonation pathway, is found to be the rate- and regioselectivity-determining step. We proposed a mono-N-protected amino acid (MPAA)/DG-assisted C-H activation model, in which the carboxyl DG coordinates with the Pd center and delivers it to the meta-position of arene, and the bidentate dianionic MPAA acts as a base for deprotonation. There is a hydrogen bonding interaction between the carboxyl DG and the carboxylate group of MPAA. An alternative Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed mechanism without involvement of MPAA is also operative. The template is conformationally flexible, and multiple low-energy transition-state conformations contribute to the regioselectivity.

Abstract
A new pair of reaction partners has been established for the aromatic C-H functionalization of benzyl electrophiles with nucleophiles via palladium-catalyzed benzylic C-N cleavage. A range of N-(1-naphthylmethyl)sulfonimides, N-(2-thienylmethyl)sulfonimides, and N-(2-furanylmethyl)sulfonimides smoothly underwent palladium-catalyzed aromatic C-H allylation with allyl Grignard reagents at room temperature, delivering structurally diverse substituted 1-allylnaphthalenes and 2-allylheteroarenes in moderate to excellent yields with extremely high regioselectivities. Replacing the N-(arylmethyl)sulfonimide with an (arylmethyl)ammonium salt, an arylmethyl chloride, or an arylmethyl phosphate as the benzyl electrophile leads to a dramatic erosion of the regioselectivity.

Abstract
The so far poorly understood factors controlling the complete meta-selectivity observed in the C-H activation reactions of alkylarenes promoted by aluminyl anions have been explored in detail by means of Density Functional Theory calculations. To this end, a combination of state-of-the-art computational methods, namely the activation strain model of reactivity and energy decomposition analysis, has been applied to quantitatively unveil the origin of the selectivity of the transformation as well as the influence of the associated potassium cation. It is found that the selectivity takes place during the initial nucleophilic addition step where the key LP(Al)→π*(C=C) molecular orbital interaction is more stabilizing for the meta-pathway, which results in a stronger interaction between the reactants along the entire transformation.

Furthermore, free meta-functionalized mandelic acid was generated by selectively removing the template under mild basic conditions. The synthesis of functionalized homatropine and cyclandelate drug derivatives was demonstrated. Kinetic isotope effects revealed C-H activation as the rate-limiting step.

Abstract
The introduction of chirality into peptoids is an important strategy to determine a discrete and robust secondary structure. However, the lack of an efficient strategy for the synthesis of structurally diverse chiral peptoids has hampered the studies. Herein, we report the efficient synthesis of a wide variety of N-aryl peptoid atropisomers in good yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% yield and 99% ee) by palladium-catalyzed asymmetric C–H alkynylation. The inexpensive and commercially available l-pyroglutamic acid was used as an efficient chiral ligand. The exceptional compatibility of the C–H alkynylation with various peptoid oligomers renders this procedure valuable for peptoid modifications. Computational studies suggested that the amino acid ligand distortion controls the enantioselectivity in the Pd/l-pGlu-catalyzed C–H bond activation step. The introduction of chirality into peptoids is an important strategy to determine a discrete and robust secondary structure.![]()

Rh(iii)-catalyzed allylic C-H amidation of substituted alkenes with in situ generated iminoiodinanes is demonstrated. The presented protocol is compatible with differently functionalized unactivated terminal alkenes and internal alkenes. In terminal alkenes, branch selectivity was observed exclusively. Based on the detailed mechanistic investigation, a possible reaction mechanism involving the in situ generated π-allyl as well as metal-nitrene intermediates has been proposed.

Abstract
Allylation of nucleophiles with highly reactive electrophiles like allyl halides can be conducted without metal catalysts. Less reactive electrophiles, such as allyl esters and carbonates, usually require a transition metal catalyst to facilitate the allylation. Herein, we report a unique transition-metal-free allylation strategy with allyl ether electrophiles. Reaction of a host of allyl ethers with 2-azaallyl anions delivers valuable homoallylic amine derivatives (up to 92%), which are significant in the pharmaceutical industry. Interestingly, no deprotonative isomerization or cyclization of the products were observed. The potential synthetic utility and ease of operation is demonstrated by a gram scale telescoped preparation of a homoallylic amine. In addition, mechanistic studies provide insight into these C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond-forming reactions.

Abstract
The results of density functional theory calculations at the APFD/SDD level are detailed herein in order to study the main steps in the α,β-dehydrogenation of aldehydes and cyclic ketones in the presence of an allylpalladium complex catalyst. The mechanism is believed to proceed via an allylpalladium enolate complex (A) in equilibrium with the carbon-bonded complex (B), followed by β-hydride elimination to yield the allylpalladium hydride coordinated to the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl (complex C). The optimized structures and detailed energy profiles of these intermediates and their corresponding transition states are presented herein. The results indicate that the intermediates and their transition states are more stable in THF solution than in the gas phase. In detail, the energy barriers for the two steps are found to be 25.22 and 11.13 kcal/mol, respectively, in THF, and 29.93 and 9.77 kcal/mol, respectively, in the gas phase.

Abstract
AbstractCatalyst decomposition has a negative effect on catalytic activity, and knowledge of decomposition pathways can assist with catalyst development. Ferrocenium cations have been employed as catalysts in a number of organic transformations, and we investigated the stability of a number of ferrocenium salts in solution. The observed rate decomposition constants for [Fc]Cl, [Fc]PF6, [Fc]BF4, [Fc]CSA [Fc = ferrocenium, CSA = camphor-10-sulfonate (β)], [AcFc]SbF6, (AcFc = acetylated ferrocene), and [FcB(OH)2]SbF6 [FcB(OH)2 = ferrocenylboronic acid] were determined in CH2Cl2 solution by time-resolved UV-vis spectroscopy. The rate decomposition constants depended on the nature of the counterion, with [Fc]Cl being the most stable complex in solution. The decomposition rate constants dropped by roughly an order of magnitude in most cases when the experiments were performed in nitrogenated solvent, demonstrating that the decomposition is mainly an oxidative process. The cosolvent HFIP (1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropan-2-ol) slowed the decomposition of the ferrocenium cations as well. Many catalytic or stoichiometric reactions of ferrocenium cations are performed with alcohols; we determined that hexan-1-ol is decomposed over the course of 16 hours, but not oxidized in the presence of a ferrocenium cation. Finally, the different ferrocenium cations were employed in a test reaction to determine catalytic activity. The nucleophilic substitution of hydroxyl groups in a tertiary propargylic alcohol by an alcohol is catalyzed by all complexes, and, again, a counterion dependency of the catalytic activity was observed. Also, HFIP increases the catalytic activity of the ferrocenium cations. The research has importance in the development of ferrocenium-based catalyst systems, because changes in the counterion as well as the architecture of the ferrocenium cation have an influence on stability and catalytic activity.

Abstract
Herein, we report an N-alkylation of pyrroles triggered by an unprecedented selective ring-expansive migration of the spiro-2H-pyrrole intermediates obtained via Ir-catalyzed asymmetric allylic dearomatization. The reaction affords a series of tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-c]pyrimidine derivatives in good yields (up to 88%) with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99% ee). The proposed reaction mechanism is supported by DFT calculations and the characterization of the key intermediate.

Abstract
Life emerges from complicated and sophisticated chemical networks comprising numerous biomolecules (e.g., nucleic acids, proteins, sugars, and lipids) and chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. Dysregulation of these chemical networks is linked to the emergence of diseases. Our research goal is to develop abiotic chemical catalysts that can intervene into life's chemical networks by complementing, surrogating, or exceeding enzymes in living cells or multicellular organisms such as animals or plants. Mending dysregulated networks in pathological states by the chemical catalysts will lead to a new medicinal strategy, catalysis medicine. This research direction will also advance catalysis science, because highly active and selective chemical catalysts must be developed to promote the intended reactions in a complex mixture of life in aqueous solution at body temperature.Epigenetics exists at the crossroads of chemistry, biology, and medicine and is a suitable field to pursue this idea. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones epigenetically regulate chromatin functions and gene transcription and are intimately related to various diseases. Investigating the functions and cross-talk of histone PTMs is crucial for mechanistic elucidation of diseases and their treatments. We launched a program to develop chemical catalysts enabling endogenous histone modifications in living cells without relying on enzymes. We reported two types of chemical catalyst systems so far for synthetic histone acylation. The first system comprised a DNA-binding oligo-4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) catalyst and a phenyl ester acyl donor, PAc-gly. This system promoted histone hyperacetylation in Xenopus laevis sperm chromatin. Using the thus-synthesized hyperacetylated sperm chromatin, we found a novel relationship between histone acetylation and DNA replication. The second system involved a histone-binding catalyst, LANA-DSH, composed of a catalytic motif (DSH) and a histone-binding peptide ligand (LANA), and thioester acyl donors, including endogenous acyl-CoA. This system regioselectively (i.e., selectively to a lysine residue at a specific position) acylated lysine 120 of histone H2B (H2BK120), a lysine residue proximal to the DSH motif defined by binding of the LANA ligand to a nucleosome substrate. This catalyst system was optimized to achieve H2BK120-selective acetylation in living cells without genetic manipulation. The synthetically introduced H2BK120Ac inhibited enzyme-catalyzed ubiquitination at the same lysine residue, acting as a protecting group. H2BK120Ub is a mark recognized by methyltransferase that plays an essential role in mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL)-rearranged leukemia, suggesting the potential of the catalyst system as an epigenetic tool and a cancer therapy. We also discuss the prospects of chemical catalyst-promoted synthetic epigenetics for future PTM studies and therapeutic uses.
